C-O-D-E-R-E-D

A Decorations do have too many unplanned items somehow crept onto your shelves? Maybe they’re from another era of your life. Maybe they were gifts that no longer “fit” (maybe never did!). Give away, pack away, throw away those that are there because you sort of forgot about them. Try to concentrate on each area where you have decorations with the eyes of a stranger. I’ll say it again—use an empty toilet roll or make your hand into a spyglass to see with “new” eyes the areas you suspect might not look their best anymore.
If all this seems like too much to tackle at once, take a deep breath. Instead of getting overwhelmed, start a list of the areas in your house you’ve been tolerating but not really enjoying. Then commit to taking steps to upgrade them, one at a time, checking them off your list as you go.
Pretend you’re moving and want to make a great impression on the new buyer. Better yet, pretend you’re the buyer. How does it look? What would make you fall in love with the house? Then upgrade your house for the deserving new owner—you! You’ll feel more confident when having people in. And that, in turn, will improve your relationships
with others. You’ll also find that your energy level and (may I say it) joy will spike as you upgrade what some people call “your larger self”—your home.
